  2. Cumene process - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cumene_process

    The concerted mechanism of this step is similar to the mechanisms of the Baeyer–Villiger oxidation [6] and Criegee rearrangement reactions, and also the oxidation step of the hydroboration–oxidation process. [7] In 2009, an acidified bentonite clay was proven to be a more economical catalyst than sulfuric acid as the acid medium.

  3. Acetone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acetone

    Acetone (2-propanone or dimethyl ketone) is an organic compound with the formula (CH 3) 2 CO. [22] It is the simplest and smallest ketone (>C=O).It is a colorless, highly volatile, and flammable liquid with a characteristic pungent odour, very reminiscent of the smell of pear drops.

  4. Baeyer–Drewsen indigo synthesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baeyer–Drewsen_indigo...

    The Baeyer–Drewsen indigo synthesis (1882) is an organic reaction in which indigo is prepared from 2-nitrobenzaldehyde and acetone [1] [2] The reaction was developed by von Baeyer and Viggo Drewsen in 1880 to produce the first synthetic indigo at laboratory scale. This procedure is not used at industrial scale.

  5. Acetoacetic ester synthesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acetoacetic_Ester_Synthesis

    Acetoacetic ester synthesis is a chemical reaction where ethyl acetoacetate is alkylated at the α-carbon to both carbonyl groups and then converted into a ketone, or more specifically an α-substituted acetone. This is very similar to malonic ester synthesis. Acetoacetic ester synthesis equation

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bargellini_reaction

    The original Bargellini reaction (1906): Reaction mechanism for original Bargellini reaction (1906): Present-day Bargellini reaction used for synthesis of hindered morpholinones or piperazinones from ketones (primarily acetone) and 2-amino-2-methylpropan-1-ol (β-amino alcohols) OR 1,2-diaminopropanes (diamines).

  7. Bucherer–Bergs reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bucherer–Bergs_reaction

    Reaction mechanism for the Bucherer–Bergs reaction. Following condensation of the carbonyl with the ammonium, the formed imine is attacked by the isocyanide to form the aminonitrile. Nucleophilic addition of aminonitrile to CO 2 leads to cyano-carbamic acid, which undergoes an intramolecular ring closing to 5-imino-oxazolidin-2-one.

  8. Pinacol coupling reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pinacol_coupling_reaction

    The reaction is named after pinacol (also known as 2,3-dimethyl-2,3-butanediol or tetramethylethylene glycol), which is the product of this reaction when done with acetone as reagent. The reaction is usually a homocoupling but intramolecular cross-coupling reactions are also possible. Pinacol was discovered by Wilhelm Rudolph Fittig in 1859
